Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos-Chapter 51 - 47: Summer Begins, Fish-eating Storks

Chapter 51: Chapter 47: Summer Begins, Fish-eating Storks

"Dragon Sparrow? What is that?" Purple Phoenix Moon Dance was very curious.

Yi Tian was silent for a moment, having been lost in thought just now. Only now did he realize that Purple Phoenix Moon Dance might just be a Phoenix.

"Our race has legends of the Phoenix. It suggests that Phoenixes once lived on our planet, or at least visited it. According to our legends, the Dragon Sparrow is the strongest among Phoenixes. In its youth, it resembles an ordinary water bird, but upon maturing, it becomes unimaginably large. Its black wings, when spread, can shade the sun, moon, and stars," Yi Tian narrated.

"Hmph! A legend is just a legend. Our Phoenix Race has nothing like your Dragon Sparrow," Purple Phoenix Moon Dance clearly didn’t believe it, considering it a figment of imagination.

"Some things exist if you believe in them, and don’t if you don’t. In our Huaxia, the Phoenix is also just a legend!" Yi Tian hinted.

"So what? You’ve been rambling on; what exactly are you trying to say?" Purple Phoenix Moon Dance obviously didn’t catch Yi Tian’s drift.

Right, playing music to a cow.

"What I’m expressing is that we’re merely acquaintances. If you want the Five Elements Sacred Fruit, exchange it with today’s auction price." Yi Tian didn’t bother being polite to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

"Why bother asking? I’ve already gathered it; let’s trade!" Purple Phoenix Moon Dance said as she sent over trade information: "[Celestial Dao Coin * 20 million][Element Core * 30][Elemental Warrior Design Map * 5] trade for [Five Elements Sacred Fruit]."

Yi Tian was speechless!

He had originally wanted to ask Purple Phoenix Moon Dance if she could manage it, and even if she couldn’t, Yi Tian planned to give it to her. He also intended to ask Purple Phoenix Moon Dance to gather Elemental Warrior Design Maps from her district.

He didn’t expect that shortly after the auction ended, Purple Phoenix Moon Dance had already collected it all.

You can never have too much money. Yi Tian had only ever heard of one person who wasn’t interested in money. That level was too high to reach for Yi Tian.

Trade successful!

Celestial Dao Coin balance: 129.77 million.

Element Core: 121 pieces. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Elemental Warrior Design Map: 20 sheets.

"Vermilion Fruit, Cyan Spirit Fruit, Silver Profound Fruit, Glazed Holy Fruit, Dragon Blood Holy Fruit, interested? Help me collect Elemental Warrior Design Maps and Element Cores, and I’ll sell these Spirit Fruits to you at a 20% discount." Yi Tian sent a message to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

"Are you that generous?" Purple Phoenix Moon Dance was skeptical. In her mind, Yi Tian was always a black-hearted merchant, always finding ways to sucker her for money and compress her profits.

Element Cores were negotiable. Elemental Warrior Design Maps, what use was that trash?

Building one Elemental Warrior, from design map to element core, along with the necessary materials and construction costs, costs over two million.

With that kind of money, you could buy three and a half B-level slaves.

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance had spiritual power reaching S-level but had not reached that level physically; these S-level, SS-level Spirit Fruits were still quite useful to her.

"Of course! I’m a man of my word." Yi Tian replied.

"I’m out of Celestial Dao Coins! Save them for me; I’ll buy them after I finish off the Indigenous People and Fierce Beasts at the end of the month." Purple Phoenix Moon Dance replied.

For Purple Phoenix Moon Dance, assessments were the primary source of income. Just by defeating one S-level Indigenous Person or Fierce Beast, she’d get a ten million Celestial Dao Coin reward; it couldn’t be better.

"Help me collect Elemental Warrior Design Maps first; you should at least have that much money. Anyway, your whole district is full of S-level Lords; those maps are useless to them." Yi Tian suggested to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

"Who said my district is all S-level Lords? It’s just me right now, okay?" Purple Phoenix Moon Dance replied.

"Didn’t the Celestial Dao Stone say each district’s Lords can’t have more than a fifty-point difference in their three-dimensional attributes?" Yi Tian was puzzled.

"That’s not what the Celestial Dao Stone told us. But regarding the Elemental Warrior Design Maps, I’ll help you collect them. Just make sure to save those Spirit Fruits for me," Purple Phoenix Moon Dance reminded.

"Alright! It’s settled."

Yi Tian felt very strange. It turns out the initial words from the Celestial Dao Stone varied for each district.

"Got some business coming," Yi Tian saw it was a C-level request involving three Flying Fierce Beasts and got interested.

Following the coordinates, Yi Tian teleported to the employer’s territory.

Before him stood a man prettier than a woman, with long silver hair, wearing a silk robe, and pointed ears.

Elf?

"Mercenary, three big birds came. They don’t attack me or anything else in the territory. They just dive into the water to catch fish; in a short while, they’ve eaten over a thousand fish of various sizes," the beautiful male elf explained to Yi Tian about the three big black birds.

"Fish-eating Stork, strength 250, constitution 280, agility 230."

There were three in total, with little variation in their three-dimensional attributes.

Their shape resembled the Earthlings’ Red-crowned Cranes, with long, pointed beaks and webbed claws, indicating they were adept swimmers.

As Yi Tian spoke, the three Fish-eating Storks dove into the lake simultaneously.

They didn’t come out for quite a while, leaving Yi Tian, who had prepared to operate the Dragon Bow, feeling rather awkward as he drew the bow and nocked an arrow.

"Mercenary, those Fish-eating Storks will surface in three minutes," the male elf informed Yi Tian.

His strength had just surpassed two hundred, and even if he had a bow and arrow, he couldn’t shoot the Fish-eating Storks.

He was also afraid of angering the Fish-eating Storks and causing himself trouble.

The male elf was curious about Yi Tian’s race but didn’t dare ask, as it was taboo among mercenaries.

The Cosmic Ten Thousand Races have countless races similar to the Human Race. Many powerful races of the Divine Beast Race, though capable of transforming into divine beasts, are born in human form.

It’s said that the human form is the one closest to the Celestial Dao Rules, universally recognized in the Cosmos as the Dao Body. Many races are born with a Dao Body, and even numerous divine beasts, after billions of years of evolution, are born with a Dao Body.

Therefore, the male elf never assumed Yi Tian was of the Human Race.

"Employer, why did these Fish-eating Storks attack your territory’s lake?" Yi Tian curiously asked.
